A scalable solution that helps to understand how infrastructure works
We use the tool as an infrastructure operational management solution.  The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.  Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well…
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The security features are very valuable."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Allows us to protect OneDrive and SharePoint, and emails too."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"Performance is very good."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
 

Cons

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."
"They could improve the UI."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based."
"The reporting could be improved."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"The solution offers value for money."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
